The turbo from this
It's far too big
Going for a holset hx35 and a different manifold

Got the original alt wire out from the loom


Feed through the firewall and above the heater matrix
Going to tidy up that mess later lol

Now to add the fuse to the cable


All done

Looks not too bad after the back of the glovebox was cut out

Need to get some ring connectors for the 150a breaker Befor I can do anything with that, so will just wait till the battery gets here to do that

Not much of an update but we did say we would sort out the mess of the loom lol

Dug more of the alt cable out the loom and decided it's best to just put it though the ecu plug grommet

Got it through and gave the loom a wee tidy up and then pluged in the rest of the plugs into the ecu

Engine mounts and battery are on the way.
going to try and wire in the turbo timer tomorrow too
